And I like NGK for plugs and wires...I'm running stock NGK replacement wires on my KA-T @ 300rwhp...no spark issues at all.

The Magnecores are nice as well...

ok , well my car only has a cai and cat back exhaust, which do you reccomend for the money?and how long you figure each will last?( miles, years, ...)

[SilviaJDM]

I would suggest Bosch Platinum, thas what I use and for the price of $24 you cant go wrong, and my gap size for my 89 hatch is 0.39. But between the choices you have picked I say go with the NGK's I hear good things about those.

[benemorius]

Do not use Bosch Platinum in your KA. NGK are great.

[hannibal]

Ive heard many people say avoid Bosch Platinum. I'm not sure why, but it seems the KA doesnt like platinum plugs.

i have a 93 KA24DE and the plug gap for it is .045.I use spitfire plugs in it and it runs great.Except for the lifter taping and small oil leak.

[VinceSez]

so the recommended plug gap is .044?

[gehzumteufel]

the reasoning to steer clear of bosch plats is cause they are too hot of a plug. they are more for honda type motors. so basically a high reving no torque car.

[nissilvat]

ok well you know what sucks?, thats all ive used since i got the car. ( vatozone) maybe thats why it doesnt run that great. so what kind of plugs do you reccomend/use? and where do you get 'em from?

[1991S13]

I got my plugs/wires from one of the popups that floats around these pages...

go with ngk iridiums

[nissilvat]

actyually after gettin off this forum, i went to pdm racing and got some nkg plugs and wires , iam still searchin for the right header, cause i just found out my stock peice cracked in half last night and the car runs like ****. so any reccomendations are great, obx, what bout those, any good for the money????

[FliMSiCaL]

i have denso iridiums in mine at the moment, and bosch pro 7mm wires, with no problems. I've used bosch platinums, splitfires, +4's, ngk oem plugs, and bosch supers (gross). platinum plugs in the sohc don't do bad at all, although they do seem a little light on the torque. The +4's are reaaal nice, seem to give a bit more grunt then most. By far, however, the iridiums out-do all, but i paid 60 bux for the set of 4.

A lot of people go with OBX, they make a nice header.

Also look into DC Sport, they just recently released the header for s13's. That's what I have, and that coupled with my 2.25" pipe and Tanabe Tuner Medallion sounds real nice. A lot of people say with DC you pay more for the name, but it really is a nice product. Maybe wait to see how they hold up for people, they haven't really been "street tested" that long.

Stay away from Pace Setter. I have a couple friends with Pace Setter header and exhaust and they are both fairly cheap and give you a real ricey sound.
